Totally high ISO, so you had no tripod with you, but I believe that the grain is not the most important thing in photography . . .
Really appealing pic!

Thanks. I did have a tripod with me, but one of its legs disintegrated when I tried to set it up, leaving no option but to take the shot hand-held. The ISO was 8,000, hence the grain. But even if I'd used a tripod and a lower ISO (with a longer shutter speed) the gondolas, which were rocking around on the tide, would have been blurred.

The tripod (a lightweight and rather plasticy one, and plastic over time becomes brittle and weak) got chucked in the nearest bin. Fortunately, the Academia Bridge from which the other nighttime and sunrise shots were taken has a wood-capped parapet which makes a better and more solid camera stand than any tripod.

yes there is nothing left but the rubbish bin :)
the motion blur of the gondolas, however, can also be very attractive when everything else is pin sharp
in any case a very good pic, greets Jean-Paul
